Horse-faced loaches would probably work quite well... you probably won't see them much- they're shy and some only come out at night. Not as social and needing company as say, Kuhli loaches- but you might still get to see them more if you have a small group of them as oppossed to the individual.
They might disrupt a planted aquarium a little though- you'd need to make sure your plants are well secured.
Personally, I'd highly recommend and echo people's comments on Corydoras. They are the ideal bottom-dweller. Cute, lots of varieties available (although no bright colours), very passive, big enough to not get eaten by most aquarium fish- yet won't eat other fish themselves.
Plus- they school a little, which is always nice to see- and their social habbits are fascinating- watching a full circle of Cory gathered around a food pellet all eating at once is amusing.
They're also more active than almost any other bottom-dweller you'll find.
I think your new stocking list looks very reasonable and well picked. I don't know that I would call your "schoolers" schoolers though - as (unless Kilifish do) those arn't schooling fish... social, but they don't really school.
I also don't know if Raphael Catfish would eat your smaller fish... I may be mistaken but I thought that they were predatorial.
